ADMISSION TO BMSc PROGRAM
Registration in the BMSc Program occurs in Year 3 and enrolment is limited. Students must be enrolled in the BMSc Program in Year 3 in order to progress to Year 4. Admission to Year 3 of the BMSc Program is assured for students in Medical Sciences 2 provided:
  • a full load of 5.0 courses is successfully completed in Year 2,
  • an average of at least 80% is achieved on 3.0 of the 2000-level courses required in the module for which registration is requested,
  • a mark of at least 60% is achieved in each modular course, and
  • no modular courses have been repeated
If the enrolment target for Year 3 of the BMSc Program is not reached with qualified students from Medical Sciences 2, additional students will be admitted on a competitive basis until the capacity of Year 3 of the BMSc Program is reached. The following conditions must be satisfied by these additional students requesting admission to the remaining spaces in Year 3 of the BMSc Program:
  • marks of at least 60% have been achieved in each of the eight first-year half courses in biology, chemistry, math and physics (marks of at least 70% are required in each of Biology 1201A and 1202B),
  • a full load of 5.0 courses was successfully completed in Year 2,
  • at least 3.0 of the 2000-level courses required in the module for which registration is requested were completed in Year 2,
  • an average of at least 75% was achieved on 3.0 of the 2000-level courses required in the module for which registration is requested (Note: an average greater than 75% may be required on the 2000-level modular courses if the number of applicants exceeds the number of remaining spaces in Year 3 of the BMSc Program),
  • a mark of at least 60% was achieved in each modular course, and
  • a maximum of one of the 2000-level modular half courses has been repeated
Within the BMSc Program, each Honors Specialization module has a maximum capacity and admission will be competitive if the number of students requesting registration is greater than the maximum capacity of the module. Admission to the BMSc Program does not guarantee admission to a particular Honors Specialization module. Admission into the Honors Specialization modules in Year 3 will be based on the averages obtained in the 2000-level modular courses. Admission into the Honors Specialization modules in Year 4 will require completion of the appropriate 2000- and 3000-level courses and a Weighted Average of at least 75%. The Weighted Average required for admission to Year 4 of any Honors Specialization module may be greater than 75% if the number of students requesting registration is greater than the maximum capacity of the module.
